This just in from the NIC. Looks like DDN is playing
musical chairs with sri-nic network numbers... sigh.
This info should be incorporated in the named root
cache files for Athena workstations and servers for
the 7.0 release. Given the phase out of the net 26
address, it might be prudent to update existing
workstations earlier, depending on the actual date
of the release.
After verification, the MIT.EDU nameservers will have
their cache files updated this weekend. -Ron
ps. Athena bug list maintainers please don't flame
me for not knowing the appropriate place to send
this; just get it to the right place for me please. -r

NIC.DDN.MIL HOST ADDRESS CHANGE
AND ROOT DOMAIN SERVER ADDRESS CHANGE
In order for the NIC to provide better service, and because of the
phase-out of the ARPANET, the following changes have taken place and
are effective immediately (6 April 1990).
NIC.DDN.MIL
The new address for host NIC.DDN.MIL is 192.67.67.20.
The old ARPANET address for the NIC, 10.0.0.51, is no longer
available, due to the phase-out of the ARPANET.
The old MILNET address for the NIC, 26.0.0.73, will continue
to be valid until 1 June 1990, after which service to this address
will be discontinued.
ROOT DOMAIN SERVER
The NIC's root domain server will run on a new host,
NS.NIC.DDN.MIL at address 192.67.67.53.
The old root server will continue to run on NIC.DDN.MIL
until 1 June 1990.
New host tables and domain server files produced by the NIC will
reflect the new addresses.
Users should update host tables, domain server boot files,
manuals, and documentation to reflect the new addresses.
The current list of root servers follows:
NS.NIC.DDN.MIL 192.67.67.53
A.ISI.EDU 26.3.0.103
